Sunshine School & Development Center

Sunshine School & Development Center For years, having a disability meant being labeled or underestimated for the rest of your life.

Serving NWA since 1958, Sunshine School & Development Center is shattering limitations to enable people touched by disability, serving their unique journey through advocacy, therapy, and education. In every space, individuals would be categorized, written off, or separated. Thankfully, Sunshine School & Development Center was founded with a commitment to seeing potential, not problems. Since 1958, Sunshine School has served thousands of people in the community by offering a range of services in order to benefit every child and client that we serve. Our mission is to shatter limitations to enable people touched by disability, serving their unique journey through advocacy, therapy, and education. Because of our work, families are better advocates, students aren't limited by their labels, and adults with disabilities thrive in their communities.

Developing and enriching lives since 1958

We envision a world where individuals have the resources they need to reach their full potential as active members in their communities.

OUR HISTORY

The Sunshine School & Development Center has been serving NWA for 60 years. The inaugural class was held in the basement of the First United Methodist Church in Rogers and consisted of two children, one with Down’s syndrome and the other with a severe brain injury resulting in developmental delays. In 1958 the public education system didn’t have a place for children with special needs. The families of these two children – the Clardy’s and the Briley’s – needed a place for their own children to learn, so they started Sunshine School. Mrs. Clardy and Mrs. Briley were the teachers. By the end of the first month six more children had joined.

Now, 60 years later, Sunshine School & Development Center serves families and individuals of all ages with unique needs by providing therapy, education, and support.
